This is my popular Rivulet Cowl scaled down for kids. It’s a much more interesting project to knit and wear than the ubiquitous plain bulky cowls, but works up equally fast.

Written instructions are given as well as a chart. A young knitter with some experience would enjoy this as a first “magic loop” project.

Equally lovely for boys and girls, it is more practical than a scarf because it doesn’t get in the way when playing outdoors. Kids love the soft squishy Spud & Chloe yarn.

Inspired by water rippling over pebbles on the bottom of a stream, the bulky yarn makes the simple texture stand out as it moves gently round the cowl.

SizeCowl 43cm/17” circumference, 17cm/7” high. One size to fit child aged approx 2-12yrs with head circumference up to 18”/45cm. An older child would fit my adult-sized Rivulet Cowl better, which they would then not out-grow.
